    摘要: An optical fiber includes a core, a first clad that is provided on an outer circumferential portion of the core and has a refractive index lower than that of the core, and a second clad that is provided on an outer circumferential portion of the first clad and has a refractive index lower than that of the first clad.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide an HAF having a structure in which the number of air holes is decreased to be smaller than that of a PCF and Rayleigh scattering loss may be more reduced than that in the existing HAF. The HAF according to the present invention includes a core portion having a uniform optical refractive index; a cladding portion having a uniform optical refractive index and surrounding the core portion; and a plurality of air holes arranged in two layers at positions configuring hexagonal closest packing excluding the core portion within the cladding portion along a longitudinal direction of the hole-assisted fiber, wherein a center-to-center spacing of the air holes is a sum of a radius Rin of an inscribed circle inscribed in the air holes in an inner layer and a radius d/2 of the air hole, and a radius “a” of the core portion and a relative refractive index difference Δ between the core portion and the cladding portion are present within a range where Rn, which is a ratio of a Rayleigh scattering coefficient Rsmf of a single mode optical fiber and an effective Rayleigh scattering coefficient Reff of the hole-assisted fiber, is equal to or less than 0.92.

    摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an optical fiber evaluation equipment and an optical fiber evaluation method that evaluate the center of a cladding of an MCF and a deviation of the center of each core of the MCF from a design value with ease and high accuracy.
    The optical fiber evaluation equipment according to the present invention approximates the outside diameter of a cladding by a circle, based on a cross-sectional image of an MCF, and determines the center of the circle as the center of the cladding. In addition, the optical fiber evaluation equipment according to the present invention obtains the center coordinates of cores with an origin at the center of the circle, rotates the cross-sectional image so as to minimize a difference between the center coordinates and design coordinates of each core, and derives the minimum value thereof as the amount of deviation of the center of each core.

    摘要: An objective is to provide an acoustic mode propagation speed measurement method and an acoustic mode propagation speed measurement device capable of measuring a propagation speed of an acoustic mode without cutting or processing an optical fiber wire.
    According to the present invention, an acoustic mode propagation speed measurement method includes: acquiring a frequency shift spectrum of Brillouin scattered light generated in an optical fiber; fitting the frequency shift spectrum using a Gauss function; acquiring a spectral full-width at half maximum w from a fitted curve using the Gauss function; and calculating a propagation speed VA of an acoustic mode of the optical fiber by substituting the acquired spectral full-width at half maximum w into a linear function of the spectral full-width at half maximum w and the propagation speed VA of the acoustic mode.
